Andre Agassi met Anton Carter, who won the Golden Ticket competition for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, at Wimbledon.
Carter was selected from more than 100,000 entries, inclusive of all ticket purchasers to date.

The young tennis fan received a signed Golden Ticket from Agassi and was upgraded to a premium seat for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, to be held from 22-29 November at The O2 arena.

“Anton really enjoyed meeting Andre Agassi at Wimbledon. It was an experience he will never forget. It was such a massive surprise for Anton to win the Golden Ticket to the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. We are really looking forward to seeing the world’s top tennis players in the world play at The O2 this November.” said Paul Carter, who accompanied his son on the visit.

I saw a clip today on Tennis Channel during the FO replay of matches with Andre talking about Agassi Prep. There were several students also talking about how they never thought they'd go to college. I couldn't record it -- and anyway I came in on it late. But if you have TTC, check it out. I'm sure it'll air again.

Also, someone on the Steffi thread on the women's board reported that French TV is offering a 45 minute documentary with interviews with Steffi and Andre and the 10 year anniversary of their French Open victories to air before the men's singles final. It's on France2?

If anyone in Europe can record this, can you please share with us via Youtube???? Many thanks in advance.

Definitely not official. First, Andre's birthday is wrong, and at the bottom it says they're not affiliated with Andre. This site is much better thanks to you Stephan and the many others who share so unselfishly.

LEFTOVERS: Agassi continues to serve
Andre Agassi returns to center stage of the U.S. Open next month, and he won't even have to work up a sweat or swing a tennis racket.

The Las Vegan and a few other sports figures will be honored for their charitable work on Aug. 31 during opening-night ceremonies.

The eight-time Grand Slam winner founded the Andre Agassi Foundation in 1994, the same year he won his first of two Open titles. The organization has raised nearly $75 million to provide opportunities for at-risk youth in Southern Nevada.

The Las Vegas charter school that bears Agassi's name graduated its first high school class this year.

Later this month, Agassi, 39, will compete in two matches for the Philadelphia Freedom in the World Team Tennis league.
